A card game is being played and the 5 of spades, 9 of spades, and 9 of hearts
are drawn from a single deck. In order to win, the next card the player draws
from the deck must be higher than the highest card already drawn. What is
the probability that the next card the player draws is a winning card? (An ace
is considered to have a value of 1 and jacks, queens, and kings have a value
of 10.) Hint: A deck has 52 cards, 4 suits, and each suit has A, 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,
9,10,J, Q,K,
A. 25%
B. 24%
C. 32.6%
D. 8%

geometric series converge the common ratio r has magnitude less than one.

which is equivalent to

for the example we need

|2-x| < 1

-1 < 2-x   and 2-x < 1

x < 3 and x > 1

we can write that

answer: 1 < x < 3

1a. common ratio r=250/25=10 > 1     diverges

1b.   r=50/100=1/2 converges

when these converge they converge to

where a is the first term.

answer: 200

1c. r=-1   so it's not the case that |r| < 1.     diverges

2a. x is the common ratio so we converge when |x|< 1

2b.   r=-10x / -2 = 5x.

we converge when

|5x| < 1

|x| < 1/5

2c.   r=3-2x

-1 < 3-2x and 3-2x < 1

-4 < -2x and 2 < 2x

x < 2 and 1 < x

1 < x < 2

2d. [/tex] r=-48x^3/12 = 4x^3[/tex]

|4x^3| < 1

|x^3| < \frac 1 4

|x| < 4^{-1/3}
